And why wouldn’t they? It’s a great place to live and work in.

We’ve compiled a list of killer tips that should help you on your journey – both overseas and in your career.

Gain experience while you study.
Casual and part-time work provides the opportunity to build on your employability skills while studying. Casual and part-time jobs enable you to earn while you learn and gain skills that are an invaluable addition to your job applications.

Even if you don't need the income, casual and part-time work is beneficial because graduate employers prefer to hire students who have had experience in the workplace. It gives you the opportunity to develop your transferable communication, teamwork, problem-solving and organisation skills, making you more employable.

Keep in mind that many casual and part-time jobs are filled by approaching employers directly and word of mouth, so keep your network updated about your job search.

Research your market.
Some roles and skills are in high demand in Australia, and others less so. The more you read, the more likely you are to understand where you fit in to the job market. If you have highly sought after skills such as digital and eCommerce abilities, it may be relatively easy, says Abigail Carradice, Head of Talent Acquisition and Global Opportunities for Michael Page. Or, if you’re willing to work somewhere remote you may have less competition.
 
Sort out your visa.
Expect to see mention of the “right to work” in Australian job ads. Employers will sponsor high level candidates if they can’t get someone locally, says Carradice. But it’s the exception, not the rule. Only really experienced candidates in talent short industries can expect an all-expenses-paid transfer.

Working holiday visas can also be a way to get a foot in the door, says Carradice. The candidate may then be able to convince their employer to sponsor them and provide a full work visa.
 
Speak the lingo/language and learn about the culture.
When Lindsey Monroe-Ruth moved from the United States to Australia to work for Adecco, she had to learn the basics of the Australian vernacular, including phrases such as “I’m keen to…”

When she told an Australian contact that she was “off to the races,” she meant she had lots of work to do, fast. The contact assumed Monroe-Ruth was literally going to the racecourse to take the afternoon off!
 
Improve your resume and cover letter.
Connect your experience to the benefits the company can reap, says Andrew Morris, Director Robert Half New South Wales, Queensland and New Zealand. Don’t assume that local employers have heard of your overseas employer. Include a paragraph in your resume explaining the business and its functions.

Address key issues in your cover letter, says Morris. It’s also a good idea to suggest next steps. Your employer may not deal with international candidates every day. But always remember when writing your resume and cover letter for an international job that an employer wants the best candidate for the job, so it remains vital to keep the focus on your qualifications for the role, rather than on where you live.
 
Know your technology.
It’s becoming more common for interviews to be carried out on phone, Skype or other digital platforms, but don’t expect employers and recruiters to use the technology that necessarily suits you. Make sure you have an account on all major communication platforms such as Skype and Google Hangouts, says Monroe-Ruth.
 
Be prepared to take a step back.
Your first job in Australia is unlikely to be a career move, says Carradice. Accept that you might need to take a step back to get a foot in the door (start at a basic level) and gain the essential Australian experience. You may even need to do some voluntary work in the country to get the local experience and contacts that employers want.
 
Understand how to apply.
Get your head around applying for jobs on SEEK. It’s easy! SEEK is Australia’s largest employment marketplace and if you’re serious about getting work then be sure to create a SEEK profile. With a SEEK profile, you can apply for jobs faster with pre-filled application forms, know that only reputable employers can view your details, and set up alerts to ensure you never miss an opportunity.

But there are lots of great benefits to a part-time job besides just the cash.

You’ll gain invaluable experience to draw on in your future career, you’ll have an opportunity to practice English if it’s your second language, and your colleagues may even turn out to be great friends.

Here are 10 jobs ideal for students that could work perfectly around your studies.
1. Coffee shop
Make a mean latte? Become a barista! If you’ve already worked in a cafe in your home country it’s a no-brainer, although you will have to learn about local coffee preferences like the uniquely Australian ‘flat white’. Very early starts may be on the menu but at least there’ll be caffeine waiting for you at work!

Check out chains like Gloria Jeans, Starbucks, Zarraffa’s, The Coffee Club and Jamaica Blue, or approach one of the independent cafes in your local area.

2. Bar-staffing/barista
Working behind a bar can be ideal for squeezing work in around your other commitments as bars, pubs and clubs are of course open at night and on the weekend when uni isn’t on. And if you have prior experience as a bartender you’re sure to be snapped up!

There are plenty of positives to working in a bar – for instance you could learn cool skills like cocktail-making and you’ll meet loads of interesting new people every shift. But there are also potential negatives to consider like rowdy drunk customers and late finishes.

3. Supermarket
Grocery stores and supermarkets are popular employers of students with good reason. Flexible shifts and extended hours make it easier to fit work in around your lectures and study commitments. Plus experience is rarely required.

You could work at the checkout, at one of the specialty counters like the deli or bakery, or stacking shelves at night if that suits your schedule better. Check out Coles, Woolworths, IGA or ALDI for vacancies.

4. Department store
Shops like Kmart, BIG W, Target, Myer and David Jones sell just about everything and often have extended opening hours to fit in around lectures and tutorials. So they’re a great place to look if you’re after casual work.

There are so many different departments in these stores (for example fashion, beauty, electrical, books, homewares and toys) that you’re bound to find the perfect fit for your interests and skills.

5. Clothing store
Consider yourself something of a fashionista? Fashion retail could be for you. See the season’s latest trends as they arrive in store and help customers create killer outfits to suit their body shape and sense of personal style.

You might even get a discount on your fave brand! Check out H&M, Cotton On, Sportsgirl, Supre, Jeanswest, Just Jeans, Uniqlo, Dotti, Valleygirl, TEMT and Seed as a starting point.

6. Telco or tech retail store
Have a passion for tech that you’d love to share? Why not apply for a role at the Apple Store, JB Hi-Fi, EB Games or a telecommunications provider’s retail store like Telstra, Optus, Vodafone or Virgin Mobile?

If you have a special interest or expertise in something specific like mobile phones, gaming, photography tech like cameras and drones or you have a knack for trouble-shooting friends’ and family’s IT problems, you could be just the person one of these shops is looking for!

7. Fuel station
The ‘graveyard shift’ (late night to early morning) at your nearest fuel station might not sound appealing at first. But consider how well this could fit in around your schedule and you might give it a second thought.

Even if late nights are definitely not your cup of tea, there may be other casual shifts on offer, and of course easy access to a huge array of snacks when you need to refuel at 3am! Check the chains for vacancies.

8. Call centre
If you’re a natural salesperson or pride yourself on your customer service skills, a call centre role could be your ‘calling’ while at uni. Many call centres operate 24/7 so you’re sure to find a shift that works in around your schedule.

And if you speak a second language you could be very attractive indeed to some call centres who require staff with diverse linguistic skills. Most large companies have a call centre of some description so your opportunities here are almost limitless!

9. Receptionist
Working as a receptionist involves welcoming clients, answering the phone, booking appointments and performing basic administrative duties. It’s an excellent student job if you can get it as you’ll pick up lots of useful skills, and casual work is often available filling in around the full-time receptionist/s hours.

You’ll need to be well-presented, friendly, professional and very organised. Many industries employ receptionists – from small businesses like dentists to huge corporations like banks.

10. Side jobs
Have you considered turning your hobby into a money-maker on the side? Here are some ideas:
  • Selling handmade goods: Creative types can link with interested buyers on sites like Etsy – think handmade jewellery, knitwear, baby clothes, macramé home décor, wall art, ceramics and illustrations. Or you could take your creations to the local market.
  • Gardening: If you have a green thumb there are likely to be plenty of people in your local area who could use it. You could offer lawn mowing, weeding, pruning, hedge trimming, gutter cleaning and even basic landscaping services.
  • Child care: If you’re great with kids maybe a regular babysitting gig could help pay the bills.
  • Dog walking: Dog lovers will hardly consider it work taking their neighbourhood dogs for a walk every day for a small fee.
  • Much more: There is a market for just about anything else you may be good at on Airtasker. Browse the categories and current ads for inspiration.

Your student visa’s work conditions
You’re allowed to work in Australia on a student visa, but you’ll need to meet your visa’s specified work conditions.

Currently, you’re not permitted to work until you’ve begun your studies in Australia. Once your course has started, a student visa allows you to work for a maximum of 40 hours per fortnight when your course is in session throughout the semester and exam periods, and unlimited hours when your course is out of session.

You’ll also need to get an Australian Tax File Number from the Australian Taxation Office before you start working.

You can read more about work conditions for student visas at the Department of Home Affairs page on Work Conditions for Student Visa Holders.
